Johnson started on the pole and finished third in the AdvoCare 500, well ahead of Matt Kenseth, who struggled and finished 23rd. Johnson has a 28-point lead heading into Homestead, and needs only a finish of 23rd or better to clinch the Cup.
58-year-old Ken Schrader will end his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) driving the No. 32 this weekend at Homestead Miami Speedway (HMS).
